I'm glad it is not just me.  The only reason I go to Montgomery is because Costco is there.  I wish they would put one in Auburn and I would avoid Montgomery all the way around.  

It is a world of difference shopping at the Publix in Montgomery and the Publix in Auburn.  It's hard to believe it is the same company.  I absolutely hate if I have to go to the deli counter in Montgomery, the people just let you know how much you are putting upon them to wait on you.  One time I was in Auburn I asked to see a manager, just so I could tell them how much I enjoy shopping there.  

I think back when I have had excellent wait service by a black server.  One was in a restaurant Lamar and I used to frequent for lunch in NJ.  The guy was totally old school - had our drinks on the table because we were even seated.  Another time I was in an Officer's Club in Dayton Ohio (Wright Pat).  The man provided such service (I honestly think he would have cut my meat for me if I'd let them) and made the whole experience so pleasant that I left him a tip more than my bill.  Those days are sure over forever.
